Downloading Fortnite on Mac, PC, PS4 and Xbox One is pretty easy and is open to pretty much anyone.
The one setback may be that you have a data cap on your internet. If that’s so, the best thing to do would be to take it to someone who doesn’t and use their unlimited plan.

Players interested in grabbing the PC or Mac version will need to set up an Epic Game account, complete with active email and password.
Mac users should also note that some products available through the Epic Games launcher require that Mac OS X Yosemite users are updated to version 10.10.5 or later.
